I now appreciate that \u201cHis Story\u201d is not inferior to a traditional musical but simply different. It is, in fact, easier to produce as the separate sections \u2013 actors, dancers, band and soloists can rehearse separately.<\/p>\n<p>So, I can proudly announce that there will be two performances of \u201cHis Story\u201d at Holy Rood church on Saturday, November 8<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 More details to come later but in the meantime:<\/p>\n<p>Lucy Stimpson- Maynard featured in our albums \u201cI Look Up To The Heavens\u201d \u201cLove Is The Way\u201d\u00a0 \u201c Uplifted\u201d \u201cWhere Would I Be Without You?\u201d and \u201cPrecious\u201d together with performing in many concerts and in \u201cHis Story\u201d itself. It is, therefore with great pleasure that I can announce that she will be singing and playing piano. Sadly, only two of the original Mustard Seed Soul Band are available for November 8<sup>th<\/sup> however I have had great fun forming a new and newly named \u201cMustard Seed Soul and Gospel Band.\u201d The band is full of extremely talented musicians and to give you a taster today\u2019s video clip features our trumpeter, Jon Yates performing at the Royal Albert Hall.<\/p>\n<p>Much more information to come but please put November 8<sup>th<\/sup> in your diaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3586\" src=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/113610-Saint-Augustine-Quote-To-sing-is-to-pray-twice-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A Crown Today &#8211; A Cross Tomorrow &#8211;\u00a0 featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard from the album Where Would I Be Without You? recorded and produced by Ross Gill &nbsp; This year marks the celebration of 20 years of Mustard Seed\u2019s first musical \u201cHis Story.\u201d \u00a0I admit to having been a little disparaging about \u201cHis Story\u201d [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ken-shearsmiths-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3587,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3584\/revisions\/3587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
